Donic seems to have introduced a winner in the Bluefire series (M1, M2, M3). The rubbers boast extraordinary amounts of spin, and have great control. Speed is very good, but that is not their forte. A very balanced series of rubbers, Bluefire can be very effectively used for middle to slightly far from the table play. The rubber is ideal for both backhand and forehand.

Priced lesser than the Tenergy, Bluefire rubbers are definitely great value for money. An ambitious club level player (USATT rating 1600-2300) can easily adapt from Tenergy since Donic has spent valuable and careful time to research and bring out this rubber. Similarly, for a player above USATT rating of 2300, it is a simple move without major adapting required.

For someone who has money to spare but not a high playing strength, one can still go for this rubber, especially if one is used to the earlier Donic series (Coppa JO Gold, Coppa JO Platin, Sonex JP Gold)

All time Table Tennis great, Waldner, expressed his desire to coach the Swedish Table Tennis team. Not only that, Waldner even suggested a unique idea. That Jorgen Persson and Mikael Appelgren can join him and form a coaching team. Waldner felt that this strong team had a lot to share in terms of experience and expertise.

Waldner hinted at problems with the current Swedish National coaching system and coach. In addition to this, the Swedish Table Tennis Association is without a sponsor for over a decade.

In the absence of Michael Brown of Australia, Wang Qi of New Zealand is the favorite to win this year's title. Others who are expected to give the favorite a run for his money are Lal, Peter Antonia, Zhang Bei Yan, and Lou Gou Gin. Yoshua Shing also is competing and will be in contention.

Michael Brown and Wang Qi facing off at the 2010 Fiji Open:

A total of about 70 participants are expected to play, said the tournament organizing committee member, Christopher Lal.

Another aspect of the tournament is the participation of players in training, where members from Nauru, New Caledonia, Australia, Ba, Lautoka, Nadi Suva, Nausori, and Lami will take part.

China-born Li Jiawei, who represents Singapore in International Table Tennis tournaments, announced her retirement from Table Tennis.

Li Jiawei is a medallist at the Olympic games in 2008 and 2012. She was also a key member of the women's team that beat mighty China in the World Team Championships at Moscow in 2010. Her other achievements are multiple medals (including gold medals) at the Commonwealth Table Tennis championships and games.

Li Jiawei became a Singapore citizen at the age of 18, a couple of years after being spotted by Singaporean talent scouts, who offered to train and later retain her under the Foreign Sports Talent Scheme.

Li Jiawei was ranked as high as No. 3 in the world at one time and was 21st at the time of retirement. Sun Bei Bei, another star Singaporean Table Tennis player also announced her retirement. The Singapore Table Tennis Association made the announcement at Toa Payoh.

Ma Lin was losing matches, was out of the Olympic Table Tennis team. He told his coach that he will drop 11 Kgs, when his coach was happy with 4 Kgs.
Ma Lin skipped breakfast, lunch, and dinner sometimes and attended sauna sessions.
The result? He is back in form, even beating Xu Xin, World No. 3 and ITTF Grand Final winner. Actions matter, not just words!

The highlight of the tournament has to be Harmeet Desai's amazing performance. He beat a World Class player in the Quarters and then the World No. 40 and very strong Noshad Alamiyan in his own home ground. With Hraday Desai.

Table Tennis Nation, an organization founded by Marty Reisman two years ago, announced his death. Marty died of heart and lung complications. He was 82.

Popularly known as The Needle, Mr. Reisman evoked interest wherever he went. At his peak, Marty was a world class player and won two US Open titles and a British Open too. He created waves even as recently as 1997, when he won the National Hard Bat Championship. Marty was the son of a cab driver in Manhattan. He started to play Table Tennis when he was 12.

A Ping Pong documentary (Die Chinesen Europas) featuring Timo Boll and the German team that won the silver medal at the Leibherr World Championship at Dortmund was premiered at Savoy in Dusseldorf.

The other main roles are played by Dmitrij Ovtcharov, Christian Suss, Bastian Steger and head coach Jorg Rosskopf.

The director of the documentary Milan Skrobanek has also produced other documentaries on Football and Handball. He spent months with the German National team understanding every aspect of their preparation and actual competition.

Justin Beiber was wondering why he had to make way for a JP Morgan private party. He was playing Ping Pong at Susan Sarandon's SPiN last week. He was heard saying "Why does he get the room and not us?"

Super star Table Tennis player Ai Fukuhara is back to playing Table Tennis after her surgery that kept her away from the Table for an extended period. She lost to China's new top woman player Cheng Meng 4-0. Fukuhara was full of praise for Cheng Meng and admitted that the young player has taken giant strides since she last played her.

Earlier, she was seen working out hard at training sessions, despite warning from her coaches not to overwork her elbow.

Fukuhara is a very popular player, both among her huge fans in Japan as well as among other professional players. It is a known fact that Ai Fukuhara is very fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

Fukuhara plays with the following equipment - Armstrong Attack 8m rubber on her backhand and Spinart on Forehand. She uses a custom blade (FL) made specially for her.

Do you know what it feels like loving someone
That’s in a rush to throw you away?
(Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? Do you?)
Do you know what it feels like to be the last one
To know the lock on the door has changed
(Do you know? Do you know? Do you know? Do you?)
